4.3.10.1 The certification shall include a list,
to be prepared and maintained by the engine manufacturer and approved
by the Administration, of all engines and their specifications accepted
under the same engine family, the limits of their operating conditions
and the details and limits of engine adjustments that may be permitted.
4.3.10.2 A pre-certificate, or EIAPP Certificate,
should be issued for a member engine of an entire family in accordance
with this Code which certifies that the parent engine meets the NOx levels
specified in regulation 13 of
Annex VI.
4.3.10.3 When the parent engine of an engine family
is tested/measured under the most adverse conditions specified within
this Code and confirmed as complying with the maximum allowable emission
limits (see 3.1), the results of the
test and NOx measurement shall be recorded in the EIAPP
Certificate issued for the particular parent engine and for all member
engines of the engine family.
4.3.10.4 If two or more Administrations agree
to accept each other's EIAPP's, then an entire engine family, certified
by one of these Administrations, shall be accepted by the other Administrations
which entered into that agreement with the original certifying Administration,
unless the agreement specified otherwise. Certificates issued under
such agreements shall be acceptable as prima facie evidence that all
engines included in the certification of the engine family comply
with the specific NOx emission requirements. There is no
need for further evidence of compliance with regulation 13 of Annex VI if it is
verified that the installed engine has not been modified and the engine
adjustment is within the range permitted in the engine family certification.
4.3.10.5 If the parent engine of an engine family
is to be certified in accordance with an alternative standard or a
different test cycle than allowed by this Code, the manufacturer must
prove to the Administration that the weighted average NOx emissions
for the appropriate test cycles fall within the relevant limit values
under regulation 13 of Annex
VI and this Code before the Administration may issue an EIAPP Certificate.
4.3.10.6 Before granting an engine group approval
for new, serially produced engines, the Administration shall take
the necessary measures to verify that adequate arrangements have been
made to ensure effective control of the conformity of production.
This requirement may not be necessary for groups established for the
purpose of engine modifications on board after an EIAPP Certificate
has been issued.
